Help shape a simpler, smarter Zoning Bylaw

Continued public engagement plays a vital role in shaping the City Building Program. We are seeking feedback from all Calgarians to evolve the next draft of the new Zoning Bylaw and discuss connections to the draft Calgary Plan. As we hear from Calgarians, any feedback that highlights the need to adjust the draft Calgary Plan will be considered, with proposed amendments brought to Council in 2026.
